How can copy text from a PDF file in the right order?

I get texts translation of customers in PDF files. I need to copy some of the text of these files in Word, but the selection of Adobe jumps tool documents around, seemingly at random, sort of paragraphs and lines from different locations on a page are automatically selected together. The tables are particularly bad. If I try to copy an entire file, receives yet more random order. For example, all the titles of the document can be gathered in one place. I tried various PDF conversion software. They put all the PDF content in the areas of text, which is not suitable for my purposes. I want to just copy the PDF files in the exact order in which they appear on the page in text form that I can handle in Word. I'm now up to version 9.3.0 and there has been no improvement. Is there a solution to this problem?

Hey, Marcoola.

I agree that by copying and sticky from PDF to Word maunally are really difficult and tedious work. I have encounterd this problem before. Fortunately the problem can be solved perfectly now. I recommend AnyBizSoft PDF to Word Converter, which is totally free for months before. This conversion mode supports three app - batch, partial, right-click conversion and it even supports encrypted PDF conversion, previously you must have legal rights. And the conversion quality is superb, all the original text, page, images and hyperlinks will be preserved in an editable word document. It is more useful than those software online for free. It will be useful.

  • How to start a list of PDF files in the right order?

    Hi forum,

    I have a LC process where I want to assemble a dynamic number of PDF documents into a single PDF file. I use the following DDX to do this:

    <DDX xmlns="http://ns.adobe.com/DDX/1.0/">
      <PDF result="process:///process_data/@pdfOut">
        <PDF source="process:///process_data/docList" bookmarkTitle="_SourceTitle" />
      </PDF>
    </DDX>
    

    pdfOut-> document

    docList-list < document > >

    As I insert a list I guess the order of the subdocuments in the result is determined by the order of the source list. Unfortunately, this is not the case, the Assembly has a random order. When I inspect the right of the list before the invocation of the DDX, the order is fine.

    Any ideas why the order has disappeared?

    Thanks in advance,

    Sebastian

    OK, I got it working:

    The order is correct, if the list is delivered through the browser of entry documents:

    
      
        
      
      
    
    

    I still don't know why the order is lost if I put a process variable, then it must be treated as a bug.

  • How can I copy text from a pdf file in firefox?

    I no longer seem to highlight and copy the text from a pdf file, while in firefox 33.0, using adobe to view PDF files.

    How do I activate the selection tool, so I can do this?

    If there is text to be copied (in other words, if the pdf file is not a scanned image of the text), by default, you should see a pointer that will change when you hover over the text to an ibeam.

    If you see a hand tool, click on the double arrow towards the top right of the display screen to get a drop-down list and select "disable the hand tool.

  • How can I save/import a pdf file received the email on an Ipad in MyAssets (cloud creative) so I can edit it in Adobe Sketch?

    I need to edit pdf files (scanned) from different people, change in Adobe sketch and e mail the PDF with changes in return. This must be done using only an Ipad.

    The problem is that I can't do so only using an Ipad, because I do not know how to open the mail PDF in Adobe Sketch. So I need a computer to place the PDF in MyAssets on creative cloud first. I also installed dobe CD player and placed the file in the clouds of the Document, because I thought that the Document and the designer Cloud cloud would somehow between them. But no luck so far.

    If I ask someone who knows a way to do it, to explain it to me.

    Thank you

    Hi Lukearh,

    my penny on this issue. I'm starting to a point that the file is easily traceable. Like a sketch of a logo or something.

    The pdf file arrives on an ipad, right? So, open the PDF and take a screenshot of the file if it is open (which is done by clicking at the same time the sleep button on the top and the button on the screen of your ipad at home). Then you will have your PDF saved in your camera as an image.

    Once on film, then open adobe sketch and use use the icon to import an image second icon to the left, in the sketch menu, it looks like a picture with two mountains and the Sun). Resize the screen and work top of tracing.

    Now I could give you a very naïve solution, but the only way I could find to solve your problem if you really work on iPad only

  • I have microsoft scan software and a jet hp6500 office printer, scanner etc. How can I scan to a PDF file?

    I have microsoft scan software and a jet hp6500 office printer, scanner etc.  How can I scan to a PDF file?

    Hello Jim,

    I will suggest 2 things. First, go to hp.com site and select your device from the five listed here (http://www8.hp.com/us/en/support-drivers.html).

    Second suggestion is that you use the HP software to scan your document, where the native format is PDF.

    Let me know if this helps you.

    Hi thomasr1953,

    You will need to uncheck 'Open documents as tabs... new' under ' Edit > Preferences > general "so that the two PDF files open in separate windows.

    Then, you can drag the second file to the second monitor.

    Kind regards

  • Integrated .swf files can be retrieved from a PDF file?

    I have several .swf files that I use in a digital portfolio PDF I send to potential customers. The original .swf and .fla files have been lost. Is it possible to extract or retrieve a built-in .swf to a PDF file so I can use a decompiler to recreate the .fla? Thank you.

    If you have placed the SWF files using the Annotations of Rich Media (content - multimedia - etc.) then you can ignore my notes on the portfolios and maps - refers to the system navigator in a Portfolio PDF. In your case, you will need to use one of the tools I've mentioned, or try to hand.

    I don't know of a Mac equivalent to surgeon or Can Opener. With effort, you can do the same thing manually:

    • Create a blank PDF and copy - paste into your SWF file using the select an object in Acrobat, if you do nothing else in the file to worry.
    • Use the preflight in Acrobat Pro to remove the compression of document structure and register again.
    • Open the PDF file in a text editor such as Notepad ++ that can manipulate binary data and extract the flow of the object relative to the SWF file (look for the binary data segment starting with "SCF" and ending before the word 'endstream' - delete all the rest above and below these lines. Makes no changes to the binary data and do not leave blank lines above the "CFS" or below the last binary character.
    • Save the data to a new file, give it a. SWF extension and you're done.

  • Layout in Arabic, Chinese and Russian. Export text from a PDF file

    I am exhibitor of long documents in Arabic, Chinese and Russian. The text was provided in PDF format when I copy and paste this in Indesign, it happens like question marks, boxes and other characters having nothing to do with the text I'm trying to layout.  I put the cast on the Arabic Myriad and Arabic dictionary still nothing that resembles Arabic or any other language. Same thing with the Chinese and Russian. Any suggestions on how to get the text from the PDF file where is the language. Appreciate help with this.  Thank you.

    Thanks for the caption, Ellis

    Thus, KK: you're in for a world of pain. The intials "WP" at the beginning of these policies means that the text is out of WordPerfect. Make presentations multilingual in WP, it was annoying, but possible. It was developed in the pre-Unicode world where every single method of complex script layout was a dirty hack. If you like dirty nerdy details, I can tell you how it worked, but that it is sufficient to say that attempt to harvest the non-latine-script text of: WP and it reuse for use in InDesign is just pure pain. WordPerfect-specific code pages were never really supported anywhere outside WP.

    That being said, I have a script around laying somewhere for the conversion of the WP-Cyrillic in Unicode. (In fact, I think it does Windows CP 1251, but that works as well.) But this is only one of the forty-five languages? And the Chinese has been pixelated? And PDF files were originally generated by Distiller 3? If you have no choice, it is time to leave. If you do not have the choice, I really hope that you charge hourly. My experience in this area (very large) is that it will cost three to five times more to extract the text as it would for a professional translation generate a new key of the text, and and then to have a second professional translation review text rekeyed looking for typos.

    Russian OCR is darn good these days, but Chinese OCR is random. I've never seen good Arabic OCR - doesn't mean it's not out there, but I couldn't help you find it.  But the chances that all 45 languages available reliable OCR, and the result of said OCRing will not have to be reviewed by someone who knows the language, are virtually nil.

  • How to copy data from a pdf form to another?

    Hello

    I created a pdf file, it adds form data. Recorded data of the form as a file fdf - all good.

    I've updated the document saved as a new pdf and want to load the fdf inside data.

    So I select Tools - forms - more brush options and press the "import" function - it goes gray and nothing happens.

    If I re - open the document, import remains greyed out feature.

    I can't find any way to import these data... ideas?

    I tried to go in form editing mode - add a new field.  The import option is is more greyed out so I click on it and select the open hit fdf file... the dialog disappears and nothing happens.

    Is my Acrobat XI improperly installed 11.0.07 - or what?

    Actually - I think I sort of solved the problem.  I issued the pdf as a standard "PDF:X 4/2010" (instead of none)-compatibility as 'Acrobat 7 (PDF 1.6)' and even if the button import didn't always nothing except gray is present, I found that if I went to the old document, put highlight all fields, I managed to copy and paste into the new document.

    I did try copy and paste before, but probably the pdf must be created in one of the standards for import to work... sort of.
